The strap is a federaly mandated item that "must be attached"
When will it ever end[:@]

I sold my stock seat when I got my Corbin...I don't have the hardware, so I need to get it in order to attach the Zepplin. Kelly loves the looks of the Zepplin for her fanny, I love the Corbin, I won't ride on anything else (unless she makes me for her long trips). Markcuda has one, I think he rode on it a little , so based on his limited experience I got one. I'm planning on putting it on when the tourpack is on, and leaving the Corbin on for all the other times. I still haven't ridden on it yet as I need to get the hardware.

I went out to Sturgis last Friday and rode 1,000 miles staight throu and didn't even put air in the seat.
Then Monday came back by myself and still did not put air in it.
I have never tried other seats, so I can't say the others are not comffy

Does it bother anyone else that a $20K bike has to have the seat replaced for most folks to be semi comfy??

Once I get the air set compfortable on mine, I don't dare change it. On our recent trip at about 3,000 miles I changed the settings and it took me another 500 to get it back were it was. As far as the stock seat I was ready to get off the bike after an hour or so. With the Zepplin I can go all day.

If I ever get the flippin' hardware, I'll try it out. I need to get by the dealer and see what they have. Apparently, I need the bracket or screw from the back of the stock seat to bolt it to the fender.
